[QUOTE="BC, post: 94158, member: 67"] Grass quantity and grass quality or two different subjects. Bahia should provide adequate protein in your area until after July 4th. If it stays dry like it has over much of East Texas, we will have to supplement with cottonseed meal in order for the cattle to eat and consume the mature forage. Most people wait until the fall, but grass quality drops in the middle of the summer in Texas below the level needed to maintain a cow with a calf. In your case, yearling heifers require even more nutrition in order to grow and develop. [/QUOTE]
